Java/INB Banner / nVidia Dual Monitor Cards

Banner INB even when only installing the old version of JAVA (5 update 6) installed the pages were rendering oddly. We found that it’s the 3d rendering on the newer Nvidia dual-monitor cards. JAVA was not telling the card to shut off 3d rendering and therefore was not displaying the page properly. A fix I found on the internet was to add an environment variable:

Fix:
1. Right-click My Computer and goto Properties
2. Click the Advanced Tab
3. Click the Environment Variables button
4. Click the New button
5. For Variable name:_JAVA_OPTIONS
6. For Variable value:-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false
OK...Ok...OK

As an alternantive you can do this on the page itself you can add the following argument in the header for JAVA:
<PARAM NAME="java_arguments" VALUE="-Dsun.java2d.d3d=false">
